वासुदेव उवाच॥
Vāsudeva said.
द्विविधो जायते व्याधिः शारीरो मानसस्तथा। परस्परं तयोर्जन्म निर्द्वंद्वं नोपलभ्यते ॥१४-१२-१॥
Disease arises in two forms: bodily and mental. The origin of each is related to the other, and a state entirely free from both is not found. (14-12-1)
शरीरे जायते व्याधिः शारीरो नात्र संशयः। मानसो जायते व्याधिर्मनस्येवेति निश्चयः ॥१४-१२-२॥
Disease arises in the body—of the body, there is no doubt. Mental disease arises in the mind alone; this is certain. (14-12-2)
शीतोष्णे चैव वायुश्च गुणा राजञ्शरीरजाः। तेषां गुणानां साम्यं चेत्तदाहुः स्वस्थलक्षणम् ॥ उष्णेन बाध्यते शीतं शीतेनोष्णं च बाध्यते ॥१४-१२-३॥
O king, cold, heat, and wind are bodily qualities; equilibrium of these qualities is said to be the characteristic of health. Cold is disturbed by heat, and heat is disturbed by cold. (14-12-3)
सत्त्वं रजस्तमश्चेति त्रयस्त्वात्मगुणाः स्मृताः। तेषां गुणानां साम्यं चेत्तदाहुः स्वस्थलक्षणम् ॥ तेषामन्यतमोत्सेके विधानमुपदिश्यते ॥१४-१२-४॥
Sattva, rajas, and tamas are considered the three natural qualities. The equilibrium of these qualities is said to be the sign of health. If there is an increase of any one among them, the appropriate procedure is prescribed. (14-12-4)
हर्षेण बाध्यते शोको हर्षः शोकेन बाध्यते। कश्चिद्दुःखे वर्तमानः सुखस्य स्मर्तुमिच्छति ॥ कश्चित्सुखे वर्तमानो दुःखस्य स्मर्तुमिच्छति ॥१४-१२-५॥
Sorrow is troubled by joy, and joy is troubled by sorrow. One who is experiencing misery desires to remember happiness, and one who is experiencing happiness desires to remember misery. (14-12-5)
स त्वं न दुःखी दुःखस्य न सुखी सुसुखस्य वा। स्मर्तुमिच्छसि कौन्तेय दिष्टं हि बलवत्तरम् ॥१४-१२-६॥
You are not distressed by sorrow, nor happy even in great happiness. You wish to remember, O son of Kunti, but fate is truly more powerful. (14-12-6)
अथ वा ते स्वभावोऽयं येन पार्थावकृष्यसे। दृष्ट्वा सभागतां कृष्णामेकवस्त्रां रजस्वलाम् ॥ मिषतां पाण्डवेयानां न तत्संस्मर्तुमिच्छसि ॥१४-१२-७॥
Or perhaps this is your nature, by which you drag down the Pāṇḍavas; having seen Draupadī come into the assembly, wearing a single garment and menstruating, witnessed by the sons of Pāṇḍu, that you do not wish to remember. (14-12-7)
प्रव्राजनं च नगरादजिनैश्च विवासनम्। महारण्यनिवासश्च न तस्य स्मर्तुमिच्छसि ॥१४-१२-८॥
You do not wish to remember the banishment from the city, the exile with deer-skins, and the dwelling in the great forest of that (person). (14-12-8)
जटासुरात्परिक्लेशश्चित्रसेनेन चाहवः। सैन्धवाच्च परिक्लेशो न तस्य स्मर्तुमिच्छसि ॥१४-१२-९॥
You do not wish to remember the affliction from Jaṭāsura, the battle with Citrasena, and the affliction from Saindhava. (14-12-9)
पुनरज्ञातचर्यायां कीचकेन पदा वधः। याज्ञसेन्यास्तदा पार्थ न तस्य स्मर्तुमिच्छसि ॥१४-१२-१०॥
O Pārtha, you do not wish to remember how, during the subsequent period of incognito, Draupadī was slain by Kīcaka with his foot. (14-12-10)
यच्च ते द्रोणभीष्माभ्यां युद्धमासीदरिंदम। मनसैकेन योद्धव्यं तत्ते युद्धमुपस्थितम् ॥ तस्मादभ्युपगन्तव्यं युद्धाय भरतर्षभ ॥१४-१२-११॥
The battle you once fought with Droṇa and Bhīṣma with your mind alone, O conqueror of foes, that very battle has now come upon you. Therefore, you must face this fight, O best of the Bhāratas. (14-12-11)
परमव्यक्तरूपस्य परं मुक्त्वा स्वकर्मभिः। यत्र नैव शरैः कार्यं न भृत्यैर्न च बन्धुभिः ॥ आत्मनैकेन योद्धव्यं तत्ते युद्धमुपस्थितम् ॥१४-१२-१२॥
The battle that has now come to you is one to be fought by you alone, having set aside all else, for it is not to be waged with arrows, nor with servants or kinsmen, but must be fought solely by yourself. (14-12-12)
तस्मिन्ननिर्जिते युद्धे कामवस्थां गमिष्यसि। एतज्ज्ञात्वा तु कौन्तेय कृतकृत्यो भविष्यसि ॥१४-१२-१३॥
If that battle is not won, you will fall into a state of desire; but knowing this, O son of Kunti, you will fulfill your duty. (14-12-13)
एतां बुद्धिं विनिश्चित्य भूतानामागतिं गतिम्। पितृपैतामहे वृत्ते शाधि राज्यं यथोचितम् ॥१४-१२-१४॥
Having determined this understanding regarding the coming and going of beings, govern the kingdom properly in accordance with ancestral customs. (14-12-14)
